The international Ceramics Now Exhibition is an itinerary exhibition of contemporary ceramics which presents works of artists that are featured in Ceramics Now Magazine’s platforms or are invited. The exhibition reunites artists from different countries and communities, and facilitates contact between them and the public. Ceramics Now Magazine and Exhibition operate as an exchange platform between artists, galleries, museums, collectors and people passionate about art.
 
In the context of the globalization of arts and of rapid exchange of information, it is more and more necessary to make a serious coagulation of what is contemporary ceramics. The incorporation of many diverse subjects, working techniques and mediums in creating a ceramic object, are more and more frequent, risking if not counterbalanced, to take this domain back to crafts. The harmony between the compositional elements and concept can be realized through exercise, and this exercise is a reference point for contemporary artists. In creating a contemporary ceramic object, an equilibrium can be reached by those who feel the need to create and who create with depth. Originating either from Australia, Africa, Europe, Asia or America, practice, delicacy and accuracy are characteristics that unite them. The Ceramics Now Exhibition reunites these artists and brings their work together aiming to create an open platform between them and the public. The third edition of our main event will be held between 8-26th of November 2012, at Galateea Gallery, Bucharest, and will present the works of 22 world-renowned contemporary ceramic artists.
 
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 8, from 6:00 PM.

Source • Material An Exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup-Curated by Lindsay Rogers

by | Oct 27, 2012 | Uncategorized

November 1 –
December 31

Water is everywhere. As abundant as an ocean and as delicate as a
drop, water is the source of all life. This eternally human need
consistently shifts the way we build our tools, our cultures and our
lives. Historically speaking, water has become a dictator of form, an
aesthetic inspiration, a human habit and an honest informer of the
ecological state of our world. In this exhibit, contemporary ceramic
artists will address the theme of water through the form of the ceramic
cup.

Source • Material: An exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup will run from November 3rd through December 31st.

Thanks to Lindsay Rogers for the following preview of a few selected pieces and her thoughts on their inclusion in the show:
 
When selecting the artists for the show it was important to me that a variety of styles of work be presented.
These are a just a couple of the MANY wonderful pieces from the show!
Chandra Debuse
 
I chose Chandra Debuse’s work because of their outright playful
demeanor! I knew she would come up with something wonderful through her
amazing use of color and narrative on her pots.

 

Natalie Tornatore
 
I chose Natalie Tornatore’s work because I appreciate the soft
quality of her forms and her talent for breaking up space on a vessel. I
thought her graphic use of line and a muted palette would be a
wonderful addition to the show. 
Diana Fayt
I chose Diana Fayt’s work because of the drawing quality and her
vibrant use of color. Her work often showcases beautiful and stylized
imagery from nature and I thought this would lend itself perfectly to
the theme.
